If traveling, I will reuse my old travel tubes to refill with my soaps or only bring bar soaps with me.

I will replace my disposable razors with steel razors.

I will make the switch to sustainable, reusable period products.

I will recycle used contact lenses and packaging.

Wipes don't break down in sewer systems, but combine with fat to create massive clogs. I will find alternatives to using disposable wipes.

I will hang-dry my laundry to use the sun as a natural bleach alternative, or use another natural bleach alternative.

Throughout its life cycle, polystyrene (styrofoam) can harm people, communities, and the planet. I will refuse styrofoam whenever I can, making sure to kindly let people know why I'm asking for alternative packaging.

I will conduct a waste audit - including recyclables and compost - to understand how much waste I create and where I can reduce the most.

The numbers #1-7 on plastics tell us a lot - and can help us be better recyclers. I will learn what these numbers mean and which types of plastics are accepted for recycling in my area.

I will make my environmental actions visible by sharing about them on my social media networks and the Plastic Free Ecochallenge participant feed.

I will not buy anything except items required for health and safety.

I will spend at least 30 minutes researching the impacts of bioplastics and how to properly dispose of them in my city, and I will share this information with 2 friends, family, and/or colleagues.

I will host a watch party with friends and/or colleagues to watch and discuss a movie about plastics.

I will keep 1 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.
